CHILDS CARRIAGE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 431,401, dated July 1,1890.

Application filed March '7, 1890. Serial No. 342,959. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM W. SCHIESL, of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee, and in the State of Visconsin, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Childrens Carriages; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to childrens carriages; and it consists in certainpeculiarities of construction and combination of parts, to behereinafter described with reference to the accompanyin g drawings, andsubsequently claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partlyin section,and illustrates the riage; Fig. 2, an end View withparts broken away,and Fig. 3 a detail sectional view of a bracket that forms part of mydevice.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A B represent the axles of a childscarriage, aiid, as shown, these axles are connected by bars 0. Bolted orotherwise suitably secured to the bars 0 are front and rear springs D E,and likewise connected to the free ends of these springs are arch-shapedbrackets F G, centrally provided with bearings b for trunnions c at theupper ends of angle-arms H I, the lower ends of these arms being boltedor 0therwise suit-ably secured to the under side of the carriage-body J.The front arm I is provided with a lug d, and pivoted to the frontbracket G is a latch K for engagement with said lug. When the latch K isdisengaged from the lug (Z on the arm I, the carriage-body J is free toswing from side to side, and thus the vehicle is converted into a cradleat any time such-conversion may be desirable.

To limit the swinging movement of the car riage-body in eitherdirection, the brackets F G are provided with ears 6 in the path of theturned-down ends 0' of the trunnions c on the arms II I, and theseturned-down ends and against opposite sides of said bracketslongivertically as weight comes on and off the springs, and that arocking motion of said carriage-body may be had at will.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Pat nt, is r 1. In a childs carriage, frontand rearbrackets secured to the springs and provided with bearings, arms havingturned down upper ends arranged in the bearings, and the carriagebodysecured to the lower ends of the arms, substantially as set forth.

2. In a childs carriage, front and rear brackets secured to the springs,arms on the ends of the carriage-body, trunnioned in the brackets, thelug d 011 one of the arms, and the pivotal latch K on the adjacentbracket for engagement with the lug, substantially as set forth.

3. In a childs carriage, front and rear brackets secured to the springsand provided with bearings and ears adjacent to the bearings, armshaving shouldered and turned-down upper ends arranged in the bearings,and the carriage-body secured to the lower ends of said arms,substantially as set forth.
